POINTS ABOUT SUGAR CANE.

The Louisiana sugar experiment
station at Kenner is 4 ing good work
for this very important industry.
Bulletin No. Z, by Director W c.
Stubs, covers the field experiments
made during The past year. The
results ne conflicting, but indicate
the want of researches in manuring
sugar cane, and the valve Of results
that may be expected after several
years work. Potash seems TO be
little needed or most Of the sugar
soils Of The state, while phosphorus
manures are generally benefic.a al, aud
nitrogen isab *oluIelynecessaryardcnn

soda was very effective as II topdrpss-
ing upon small and late s,ubblp. A
large crop Of cane is the first essen
tial TO successful sugar production. TO
attain which the following are
necessary Thorough drainage ;
excellent preparation Of soil +; good
seed, properly planted; judicious
manuring, both IN quantity, quality
and mode Of application early

TROURLE WITH THE, INDIANS IN

ne following despatch mas Deen re-
ceived by courier nfFdm eMeekEr:
"The greatest fear and excitement
prevails here Since the Ute peace
commission attempted to- assassfnnte
their escort who was taking them
TO C0iorow's camp TO make known
the conditions of peace. There are
about 600 peoplein town. and about
800 of them are good fighting men,
but poorly armed. The women are
frightened badly, anda attack is x
pected on the town at any time.
Double vigilance is now being used

3 Settlers are arriving hourly, coming
in groups that have been gathered to-
gether for mutual protection at the
ranches. One settler saw four runners
Yesterday, two OF whom were hurry
ing towards Utah, and two others were
hurrying South, probably to the Sonth-
ern Utes for e-enforcPments.
A messenger has started for Fort
butcher TO ask aid from there ta
Another settler has just come in
from Bear river, and says he was
within quarter of mile Of Colorow's
camp'on Williams Fork. He count
ed 81 squaws and Is children. By
The aid of his glass he saw the squaws
engaged in running bullets and fixing
ammunition.
IA small party Of scouts sent out
yesterday have just returned and re-
ported that they say a party Of about
40 bucks making toward the old Co
vernment road, between here and
Glenwood springs. 1t is supposed
that they go to prepare an ambush in
anticipation of help coming in from
that direction. .+0i :" ..5 '@
1t is learned that the White river
Ute Indians have sent runners to the
CDcompahgre camp, the Blackfeet,
the Sioux, the Crows and other
tribes in Colorado, Wyoming, Mon
tanar and Idaho, asking for aid.
Co1orow knows that il will be the
decisive battle, and that il will end
the Indian question forever. He
has determined, tits said, to have
the other tribes brought into the pre-
sent difficulty, and While the outbreak
has been local so far, he wantsto make
1t a national one.
The runners are reported to have
started for the camps of the other
tribes from yellow Jacket pass on
Sunday night. Duncan Blair. a white
xranchman who married a Ute sqaaw
md who is said to be popular with
the oUtes, is alleged to know some

Omaha, Neb., Aug. IS, 1887,
TO Governor Adams:
Your kilograms were forwarded
with a request for Instructions. Troops
cannot be used to assist the state au-
thorities in the execution of civil pro-
cesses without orders from the Pre-
sldent. They are ready TO move on
receipt of definite information as to
what the Indian outbreak consists of.
(Signed) General Crock,
Brigadier-G General.
To this Governor Adams telegraph
ed the following reply.
Denver, COL, Aug Is, 1887.
To General Crook, Omaha, Neb.
Your telegram received. If you
cannot aid in enforcing the civil law
against the Indians it is certainly
within your province t 0 compel the
Indians to return to their reservations
when they wander over our State,
frightening and shooting at our citi-
zens, compelling them to abandon
their homes, stock and crops; COM
peIlng women and ahildren to gather
in the settlements, where they can be
protected from the threats and depre-
dations of the Indians. The expert
ence of eight years ago prevents the
entertaining of much faith in the
harmless intentions of these very Tn.
dams. The Indians who are instigat-
ing these troubles are the very ones
who participated in the Meeker out
RACES and the Thornburg massacre.
Their presence off their reservations
a constant menace to our people.
Your immediate inters ehfion would
induce these Indians 10 return TO
their reservation. and we think that
you should force them to go at once
and return no more, 4<ll

Pigs in Indian hunted on horseback,
not on foot, and the hunter is arm, d
with o spc;r or lance fitted on to a long
handle made of toughencd bamboo.
This is the most important part of his
equipment although he has, in addition,
short, sharp, straight sword, in shape
similar to the sword used by the Roman
gladiators, with which to give the boar
his quictus after he is stuck. There is
generally, also, a pack of boar hounds,
not the massive brutes we are accus-
toned to sec in the prints representing
German Barons on their way to the hunt,
but mongreh of all kinds. They are
useful animals, though, and many of
them are as plucky as the famous ter
riers, Pepper and Mustard, of Dandic
Dinmont. They yclp and snarl at the
boar's heels, and take a bite at his hams
when brought to bay, while another lot
attack him in front, keeping we'll away,
however, from his formidable tusks, as
they would be ripped up remorselessly
il Master Piggy once got holl of them.
When he is brought to bay by the dogs
and spear run into him, if the hunter
does not succeed in killing him he must
dismount and advance with his sword,
which generally puts an end to his
grunts. - Chicago Herald.

The melancholy part of the study of
Gagged birds is the alb Indance of diseases
to which they arc liable Especially dur
ing the winter and the early spring the
pathetic little captives are apt to suffer
and die in way which makes the very
fact of their captivity reproach. After
examining the grisly catalogue of their
complaints, we have come to the conclu-
sion that the excessive dizziness of their
lives in cages drives them to the only in
diligence which is possible to them, that
of overeating themselves. The excited
bird which falls from its perch, in the
middle of burst of song, smitten with
apoplexy; the hot and lumpy bird which
is victim to hepatitis; the corpulent bird
whose figure no dandelion leaves or Ep-
som salts will reduce; the epileptic bird
that drags on existence by slipping tine
ture of lobelia and drops of castor oil,
all these melancholy invalids would have
escaped their sad condition if they could
have resisted the tempt ng hempseed
and the luscious miksop. But how are
they TO drag life through their long mo-
notonous days2 In the utter insipidity
of aviary existence the open and mex
haustible box of food decoys them like a
vice, and they succumb to temptation, as
Nine. Bovary did, from sheer unmitiga-
ted ennui. Sometimes, in the later stages
of decline, all reticence is thrown aside,
and the unfortunate songster sits all day
long at the feeding trough shelIing and
throwing aside the food that it pos tive
ly cannot swallow, and yet must be
handling In these sad cases live spi
der is som times found beneficial, as for
hystcrical human patients the family
doctor may recommend q pantomime or
a fancy ball. We cannot but think that
more study might with advantage be
given to the question of the food of
Gagged birds, since this seems to be the
difficulty upon which their management
always strik s. 1t is curious that bird
fanciers persist in feeding their charges
with hempseed, probably because the ir-
responsible little wretches gobble it up
with so much greediness. But this is
no more reason for giving it to them
than the fact that children like maca-
rooms would lie reason for feeding
them daily upon this indigestlhle dain-
ty. Birds require at least as much care
as children in selecting for them, not
what they prefer, but what is best.-Sat

Seeming IntoxicatiOn.

In no class of people does heredity do
more disastrous work than in the de-
scendants of drinkers, whether excessive
or moderate A morbid appetite for
liquor in such cases, with the disadvan-
tage of an inherited nerve degeneration,
may manifest itself in many terrible
forms Among these many forms are
the ordinary symptoms of intoxication in
a person perfect y temperate. Dr. Croth-
ers, of Hartford, Conn, presents many
such cases in a paper read before the
American Association for the Cure of
Inebriates, and published in the Alienist
and MeHrOJOgist. The first cases that at
tracted his.attention were two boys, sons
of drunkards, in the Hartford Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, who had shown clear
signs of intoxication from their birth.
He was afterward surprised to find such
cases not uncommon. In some persons
the symptoms are present all the time,
either appearing at birth, or slowly de-
veloping with the growth of the child.
Most of such cases show other marked
indications of physical degeneration-a
idiocy, imbecility, or bodily deformity.
In second class of cases, almost any
excitement is sufficient to bring on an
attack. This class may include persons
of average intellect, and even of genius.
In them the neurotic (nerve) degenera-
ton may, at later date, end in imbecility
or insanity. A farmer, fifty-four years
old, q man of wealth and character,
whose father was drunkard, but who
himself never ued any kind OF spirits,
showed symptoms of intoxicaton after
meeting with an accident from a run
away horse. At the funeral of a child,
some months later, his family were
greatly mortified at his silly language,
staggering gait, and other marked symp-
toms of intoxication. A year later a
similar attack followed the burning of
some buildings on his farm.
There are similar cases in which the
nerve degeneration is due, not to heredity,
but to early habits of intoxication. A
noted temperance lie turer, total abb
stainer for ten years or more, received
while lecturing a despatch announcing
the fatal illness of his daughter. He
drank a glass of water, became confused,
staggered and was led from the stage
laughing and houting in maudlin way.
He had drank no spirits, but the au-
dience supposed him intoxicated

HOrse.shOcing.

A professional horseman said to u
New York Mail anil Express reporter
"The value of horse is mainly de-
pendent upon the soundness of his feet.
He may be perfect in every other re-
spect, but If he has a bad foot, no in
telIigent horseman would want him.
You can see, therefore, how important
it is that his shoes should fit. If they
are too small they will cramp and pinch
his feet, and may eventually make him
lame. For this reason all fine animals
should be carefully fitted with hand,
made shoes. There are some large fac
tories in this country that turns out
thousands of horse-shoes every day.
These may do well enough for the or IL
nary working horses, but the man who
would place such shoes upon the feet of
q wcl-bred roadster would be insane.
allowances have to be made for ex-
cessivc heat and cold which expands or
contracts the metal. We have to make
allowances also for the nature of the
animal. He may have peculiar manner
OF stepping, which can be rcmedicd by
changing the weight of his shoes. To
illustrate to you how important cen,
sideration this is, have only to tell you
that it is possible to change PAGER mt
a trotter by increasing the wei light upon
his forefeet. This has often been done.
A horse cannot pace with heavy fore
shoes. They have a tendency to make
him take longer steps and throw his feet
out straight forward. frequently vetcr-
mary surgeons have to ask my advice.
A horse may be lame and they cannot
ascertain the cause. Often it is bccau SC
he is improperly shod. Horses arc sub.
ject also to corns, the same as human
beings. Sometimes We pare them until
they gradually disappear. We also
burn them out"

The beginning of disease Is a slight debility
or disorder Of some of tho vital organs, the
stomach, the liver or tho bowels usually.
There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows tawny and. un-
healthy looking, there are pains in the right
side or throu III the right shoulder blade. Tho
climax is often an utter prostration of the
physical energies, perhaps fatal issue. But
Il the difficulty Is met in time with HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is always effective rs
remedy, and 1t should be resorted to at an
carly stage, there will be no reason to appre-
bend those injur!o IS subsequent effects upon
diseases. Far bet er is IL, also, toemploy this
safe remedial agent in fever and ague, and
other malarial complaints, than qulnins and
other potent drugs, which, even when they do
and impair the general health
